Adaptive Eating Device

Problem Statement
Individuals affected by essential tremors often struggle with simple daily tasks such as eating, writing, or using handheld tools due to involuntary hand movements. Conventional assistive utensils and adaptive equipment lack the vibration control, ergonomic design, and affordability necessary to restore independence and comfort for these users. Existing solutions often rely on complex electronics or expensive components, making them inaccessible for many patients. These limitations lead to frustration, reduced food intake, and increased dependency on caregivers. Therefore, there is a critical need for a cost-effective, user-friendly assistive dining device that minimizes hand tremors through mechanical stabilization and ergonomic design, enabling individuals to eat independently with confidence and ease.
